It is with great sadness that this morning we learnt of the untimely passing of highly respected coach Barry Daka. Mr Daka has served many clubs in Botswana, his country and in other African countries. Coach Daka has certainly contributed to our football development, nurturing and developing a number of local players over the many years he has spent with several clubs in Botswana.

His untimely death is certainly a great loss to the region and in particular to many aspiring coaches who were inspired by his tactical acumen and technical ability to guide players and lead teams. Our hearts are with his family, friends and clubs such as Mochudi Centre Chiefs, Ecco City Greens, and Notwane with whom he had relations through football.

The BFA wishes to relay a message of condolences to his family, friends and the general football industry for this great loss.  May His Soul Rest In Peace!!
